Sun Mountain Improves Its Lightest Golf Bag

September 20, 2017 by Steve

Since its introduction, the Sun Mountain 2Five golf bag has been the lightest, full-featured bag on the market. Weight-saving components used by Sun Mountain include carbon-fiber legs, high strength-to-weight plastics, and ultra-lightweight fabric. For 2018, the new 2.5+ will have increased durability, increased comfort, and more storage. All of these improvements without a price increase and adding only three ounces in weight.

“We added the equivalent weight of two golf balls while increasing durability, comfort and pocket space,” said Ed Kowachek, President of Sun Mountain Sports. “We’re satisfied with that trade off and think golfers will be, too.”

Some details on the improvements are:

• Added durability with a change from 70 denier to 100 denier fabric

• Increased comfort with wider shoulder straps and higher-grade padding

• Added storage with a new, zippered spine pocket and a dedicated beverage pouch

2.5+ is truly a full-size golf bag featuring a 9” top and four, full-length club dividers. 2.5+ doesn’t skimp on conveniences either, offering five pockets including a full-length clothing pocket, velour-lined valuables pocket, two accessory pockets, and a beverage pouch.

2.5+ also includes the details that have made Sun Mountain the #1 bag in golf: durable top with built-in handle, sturdy bottom with the patented Roller-Bottom leg mechanism for quick and strong leg action, Sun Mountain’s proprietary X-Strap® Dual Strap shoulder strap system, lumbar hip pad with AirFlow System, umbrella attachment, towel holder, top-mounted leg mechanism for added stability, pen holder, and a color-coordinating rainhood.

You can make if fit your style, too, with eight different color combinations.

Best Sunday Golf Bag

September 14, 2017 by Steve

What is a Sunday golf bag?

A Sunday bag is a lightweight golf bag meant to be easier to carry and typically smaller than a standard golf bag; intended to carry a limited number of clubs and the bare minimum of accessories.

The name originated back in the day, when most people observed the Sabbath and weren’t allowed to work on Sundays, including caddies. The lack of caddies meant golfers had to carry their own bags so they opted for a smaller/lighter bag.

A typical Sunday bag has a smaller diameter top, less club dividers and no structure, that is, no solid base and no side supports. Some have one rigid support and are referred to as ‘pencil’ bags.

The best Sunday golf bags offer the ultra-lightweight without skimping on features.

One Sun Mountain Sunday bag is the Leather Sunday Bag. It’s constructed from a supple, premium leather with a 9″ top and four, full length dividers. It offers a classic look with modern necessities like graphite shaft protection.

Sun Mountain 2.5 stand bag was awarded Best Sunday bag by MyGolfSpy even though it’s not technically a Sunday bag. It just offers the same benefit of a Sunday golf bag – ultra lightweight.

Sun Mountain’s lightest golf bags weigh the same as a Sunday bag while offering a full-size top, full-length club dividers, structured sides, solid base, stand mechanism and a full complement of pockets.

For the 2018 Sun Mountain collection of ultra-lightweight golf bags that offers the benefits of a Sunday bag, look to the 2.5+ and the Front 9.
